Arvin Tolentino set himself a caree high points of 51 points. That's a lot so I guess with the implementation of the 4 point shot will make a lot of players set themselves up like 30-50 points per game. It became a headline and article for many sports media outlet recently.
(https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/arvin-tolentino-scores-51-points-as-northport-beats-converge-a795-20240829)

Related to this I just saw a social media post regarding to those players who made a 50+ points this week, Adams,Brown Lee and the only local player was Tolentino and same with what you mentioned it's now easy for players to make that amount of productions with the help of that 4-points rules, shooters can take advantage of that long range shots, not by far that we can see more and more gunners to make that good offensive productions.

Arvin Tolentino seems to be an underrated player; he has really developed his skills with Northport and is now very consistent. I can see this player getting an opportunity to compete in a championship series. The farm teams are still DYIP and Blackwater, and they continue to perform at the same level. I'm quite surprised by teams like ROS and Northport, as they are playing great basketball this season. With a good import, I think they’ll be able to compete with the top teams in the PBA.

seems your first pick today also not good DYIP after trying to make that rally during the third got run out of gas in the final quarter, looking forward with your last pick! Good luck kabayan!

I didn't bet on the first game, and as usual, DYIP continues to struggle, they’re still winless. For the second game, I backed NLEX along with bisdak, but I went with the moneyline instead of the handicap. I was so happy after the first quarter, but things went south as NLEX got dominated by ROS. I now don't trust this team due to their lack of defense. Just like in their previous game, when they were up by a huge margin but allowed their opponent to go on a big run, the same thing happened this time, and it’s just sad they lost.

Later, we have two more games:

Northport vs. Converge
TNT vs. Magnolia (this one is worth betting on). I'm taking TNT here.

Got no luck with last night's game so i will be tailing your bet tonight kabayan. TNT might be eager to bounce back after that upset lose in the hands of Converge and besides Magnolia seems to me that they are very beatable now, i don't know the reason of their struggles.

TNT -1.5 @1.87 vs Magnolia

Just like agree with what you observe about Magnolia, not sure what's happening but seems that the team no longer the same, I was in the impression that after Sangalang got back and play healthy the team will be more competitive, but with the way they play seems that they are not in a good form, maybe there's a need of a major changes not just a single trade but more on the system maybe coaching staff and old stars needs to be replace, just my on take and again let see what will happen later.

Yeah, that was the first game-winning 4-point shot in the history of the league. Magnolia is a good team, but I believe TNT's import is better than Magnolia's.

That will go down in the books. The first player to hit a 4-point shot was Chris Banchero, and the most recent was Scotty Hopson (Converge import), who hit a game-winning shot from that area. With the new rule introduced this season, the PBA has become even more exciting. A 4-point lead, which used to be a two-possession game, is now just one possession. With one shot, the game can be tied, but in the game between TNT and Converge, it was a game-winning shot.

Quote

I'm sure RHJ will make sure what happened in their previous game doesn't happen again. This is likely to be a double-digit win by TNT.

I have no doubt about this. I thought this season the competition would only be between Durham and Brownlee, but I forgot that RHJ is the import for TNT, and we all know he is an exceptional player.

You said it right, NLEX unable to protect that huge lead during the first quarter, when ROS start to play defense they've been outscored in just 5 or 6 minutes of the 2nd quarter, then unable to catch up in the 2nd half and totally being dominated.

It's unfortunate that they didn't learn from their past mistakes. I don't know if they can be a championship contender with the way they play. We all know that defense is a very important factor in winning, and so far, it seems like this team doesn't possess it.

Congrats Kabyan with your 1st win and good luck in your 2nd pick!

Lost my second bet kabayan, Justine Brownlee had a monstrous game last night as he tallied his career high of 51 points which was enough to hand SMB its first loss in three outings.

For tonight's game, below are my picks:

DYIP +8.5 @1.87 vs Meralco
NLEX +4.5 @1.85 vs ROS

Yes Kabayan not sure what happened with SMB they rally in the third with Teng and Romeo's taking in charge with their offense but like what you said it's JBL who take charge and carried the Gin kings, as always, JBL do his task and bring that win for his team.

seems your first pick today also not good DYIP after trying to make that rally during the third got run out of gas in the final quarter, looking forward with your last pick! Good luck kabayan!

I always check the play-by-play, but it hasn't been available this season, now I know the reason. Despite that, I think the PBA isn't doing a good job of updating their website. Since they already planned that implementation, they should have ensured everything would work, particularly their website where we can get the statistics. Now, we have no option but to watch the game to stay updated. Also, I've noticed that there are already a lot of people watching the games. Are they still running a promo?

That's so frustrating on our part since we rely on their websites to get the data of the games and the statistics of the players but they have not updated their website. Maybe there is a reason why they did not update their website.

Anyways, we have two games for today.

My bets:

Converge +9.5 @1.89 vs TNT
SMB -3.5 @1.89 vs Ginebra

What a game for Converge, outscoring TNT in the last quarter and manage to escape that close game exchange of scoring both import played so well though only one team will win, Just in the impression that you'll win your handicap but not expecting that TNT will be that careless losing that game from converge, the highlight is that 4-point shot if that new rule did not implemented yet it's just an ordinary OT that we will going to watch out. But, lucky for Cnverge that the import risk that last shot and made it.

2nd game between sister teams not sure if how both teams will play around, looking to see Abarrientos to play well today together with JBL and the rest of Gin kings.

Congrats Kabyan with your 1st win and good luck in your 2nd pick!

IMHO, they should have updated all inline to this change. But it seems they're not prepared for it. It looked interesting and gathered the interest of the global basketball fans but somehow, they haven't fixed everything before implementing the changes.

We have the first game starting at 5 PM.

NLEX vs. Phoenix at Smart Araneta Coliseum. I find this match an interesting one as I predict it will be a high-scoring game. Therefore, my bet would be on the over 209.5. Yesterday, the game wasn't on a familiar court, so that's probably the reason why both teams struggled with their points. Today, this one should be a good match, and maybe it will be a close one, with OT being just another bonus to help this game go over.

It's a 50-50 game, although Phoenix is +1.5, but let's consider that. However, if I had to choose the winner, I think I'd go with NLEX.

Got my W but it wasn't easy. NLEX once again were too careless letting Phoenix came back from a huge deficit and even lead in the 4th quarter, good thing the comeback wasn't completed and NLEX bag another win.

Congrats on your win kabayan, that was a closely fought battle but luckily the NLEX Road Warriors took the win via big shots from Semeran and that booming three from Robbie Herndon sealed the win for the Road Warriors.

It didn't feel good to watch your team struggle after leading by a huge margin, but thankfully their shots were falling in the end. That was a classic example of how exciting the PBA is, where no big lead is safe, and a team can come back if they play strong defense especially a team like Phoenix, who excels at that.

Good timing as they'll start again tomorrow, just one break and the games will continue.

Ginebra vs. ROS game is starting soon, and the line is -4.5 for Ginebra. What do you guys think? Will Ginebra be a better team without Pringle and C. Stand, or will they struggle to find their chemistry?

For me, I think I'll just wait and watch the game first. If I see an opportunity at the half, I might take Ginebra, especially if they are down. I have no concerns about JB's performance, but I'm more focused on his teammates, especially the young players who were traded for C. Stand and Pringle.

For Gin kings fans for sure that handicap will easily be picking up knowing how explosive they are when JBL is around, though like you it's still better to watch the game first, if you have a chance to bet when they are down and the handicap change in between then the chance to win is more likely decent and who knows if ever that ROS start strong if bookies gives them the heavy favor odds that a good risk to take as for sure it's an eay double or more knowing how Gin kings plays during the last quarter..

As I was expecting, sometimes they aren't on the same page. I think they are still trying to figure out how to blend well with the new additions to the team. What I noticed in the game is that Ginebra has lost their dominance in the paint. They missed C. Stand in that area, as Go isn't of the same caliber, and Japeth is also getting older. I was looking for Abbarientos to have a good debut with Ginebra, but he was having a bad game. Most of his assists were not converted into points, so it's clear that there's a need to fix things for the team to click well.

I agree they missed the dominance of CStand, knowing him fighting for the position and trying to get that second chance point, Go is not a kind of player that will try to force figthing for that rebound no threat from him unlike with CStand who can give that solid 5 position either to create his own shot or to give some space for their gunners.

Though still early for them, lots of game to play and lots of practice to work together and same with your observation Abbarientos debut is not that much impressive looking forward to see him blending with those seniors and jive their games.
